Plus the big posters all over Paris drove me to the not-to-be missed exhibit.

An exquisite goblet in the same collection...This milky breast-shaped piece was designed especially forLa Laiterie de Rambouillet - Marie-Antoinette's dairy, Le hameau at Versailles.And then back again to Bernardaud to look again at this Limoges china... A 16th c Supernanny giving a good wacking with a bouquet of roses. These lush silk roses drove me to seek outSIA. *Note the decorative macarons. The shelf life of these cookies is not long. I wonder who's job it is to eat and replenish these window?A piece montee des macarons.

Ohhh--How pretty, Carol! Puttin' that bird book to good use, eh? A lovely bluebird there on the cup, too. You're making me wish I was done with all this work I have to do so I could get the paints out...

Love the Marie Antoinette china! I read somewhere recently that Lenotre sells ceramic serving pieces and teacup sets decorated with pastel-colored macarons. Have you seen them? Just something else to add to the growing list of things to buy in Paris.

The bird cup is grogous and the entire pieces is more than divine.I can't tell you how exited I am about it. May I say, IMHO, it's your best work yet? If we just hadn't gotten back from Paris, the cup would be mine in the blink of an eyelash. Thank you for bringing a little of Paris back into my day.Susan

Hi I'm Carol Gillott,
